NEW QUIZ for Sunday 21st August
As you may know I and lots of other SW people have been down in the dumps about poor old Wilma Pie Thompson, a brave little tort, passing away and Lynn is suffering with toothache, the weather is up and down like an up and down thing and the looters are getting off on appeal. We need something to cheer us up - so here is a special 'HAPPY' themed quiz!
1) Who played The Fonz in Happy Days? Henry Winkler 2) Who was the lead singer with Happy Mondays? Shaun Ryder 3) Happy Talk was a hit for which member of The Damned? Captain Sensible 4) Which musical was the song Happy Talk originally from? South Pacific 5) The 2008 British film 'Happy Go Lucky' won the golden globe best actress award for Sally Hawkins but who directed the film? Mike Leigh 6) The film Happy Gilmour features which sport? Golf 7) 'Celebrate Good Times' was a hit for which group? Kool & The Gang 8) 'Smile' is an internet bank belonging to which high street bank? The Co-operative Bank 9) The latest Happy Planet Index (2009) placed Costa Rica as the world's happiest country! Where did the UK come - was it 4th, 14th, 34th, 74th or 104th? 74th 10) Smiler was a character in which long running sitcom? Last Of The Summer Wine 11) Smiley's People featured a spy called Smiley, but what was his first name? George 12) 'Happiness' is the signature song of which entertainer? Ken Dodd 13) Which band sung about 'Shiny Happy People'? REM 14) Tortoises love being in the sun - what vitamin does being in the sunlight help to produce? D(3) 15) Joy Division later became which Manchester band? New Order 16) Joy Adamson befriended which lion? Elsa 17) Ode To Joy was set to music by which composer? Beethoven 18) The 'Ode To Joy' has been adopted as the official anthem of which organisation? The European Union 19) Who released the live single 'The Wonder Of You'? Elvis Presley 20) Happy was one of the seven dwarfs - can you name the other six? A point for each! Sneezy, Sleepy, Doc, Dopey, Bashful, Grumpy and Cowell (I may have got that last one wrong) TIE BREAK DECIDER: send a one liner joke with your entry, there is a point simply for sending one but in the event of a tie I will judge which one is best/corniest! As it is a late notice quiz I will extend the entry time until 9pm on MONDAY 22nd August, so please have a go folks and remember to smile at everyone that you see today! The results are in and can you believe it - two entries both tied for 1st place with 10points. As both Caledonia and Cathers submitted happily corny jokes they were still impossible to split! Therefore I declare it a TIE! 1st - CALEDONIA 1st - CATHERS Thanks for entering Last edited by WriterNick; 25-08-2011 at 07:51 PM. Reason: put October instead of August (the weather feels like October) |
